It really makes me think when
It really makes me think when someone pounds their thought that the VOLT was an unpopular car then they compare to sales.
The truth that any VOLT owner can tell you is GM did not do much advertising for the car. Car sales for the VOLT were mostly pushed by word of mouth, or finding a VOLT forum where other VOLT owners would tell you about the VOLT, NOT GM.
I was particularly interested in the GM car commercials and it was rare to even SEE a volt in the line up. Even then, they talked about all the cars EXCEPT the VOLT, which they would just slowly pass the camera by the VOLT and go to the next car.
GM made the VOLT for the carbon credits but they didn't want to sell too many of them because they would lose money. Pretty poor planning for a company just out of bankruptcy.
No one really knows why they even produced the VOLT with no ability to make money in production.
Its a shame as the VOLT is a very nice car. The Bolt has the increase battery mileage but the VOLT does not have to stop to charge on long trips. This is a freedom even the TESLA lacks.
Many NON Volt owners miss this fact and always point out other lesser reasons why the VOLT was discontinued.
Lack of Sales was created by GM themselves, it wasn't that the car was not good because all us VOLT owners will tell you it is a great car.
GM suppressed sales by not advertising the VOLT. They intended to shut it down as soon as they could find another model. I believe that is why they chose a name for the BOLT that sounded so much like the VOLT. That was on purpose as well.
WIth the gasoline extender the VOLT is still the best electric model made.
